State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli announced today that his office has reduced the pension of a retired state Department of Correctional Services employee and is seeking to recover $13,500 after the Cayuga County man admitted he was paid for 17 years of Fridays that he didn’t work. The Comptroller’s Office concluded Dean “had the support of senior management in many of his improprieties,” according to DiNapoli’s news release.

The state is reducing the annual pension of Howard Dean, 66, of Locke by nearly $4,000 a year. Dean pleaded guilty last year to second-degree larceny and is awaiting sentencing in Oneida County.
